Your Primary was ‘The Beaver’, with your Secondary coming in as ‘The Retriever’, and here are the descriptions of your Personalities, and how they can be used for God

Beaver- Organized. Beavers think that there is a right way to do everything and they want to do it exactly that way. Beaver personalities are very creative. They desire to solve everything. Desire to take their time and do it right. Beavers do not like sudden changes. They need reassurance.

Strength: High standards, order, respect
Weakness: Unrealistic expectations of self & others, too perfect.
Limitation: Seeing the optimistic side of things, expressing flexibility

Golden Retriever- Good at making friends. Very loyal. Retriever personalities do not like big changes. They look for security. Can be very sensitive. Very caring. Has deep relationships, but usually only a couple of close friends. Wants to be loved by everyone. Looks for appreciation. Works best in a limited situation with a steady work pattern.

Strength: Accommodating, calm, affirming
Weakness: Indecisive, indifferent, unable to express emotional, too soft on other people
Limitation: Seeing the need to be more assertive, holding others accountable

[E]xperience

I have grown up in the church setting my whole life. My family taught me about the lord at a young age.

Trinity Lutheran Church in Persia Iowa. I went here since I was very young. I also served as that kindergarten youth teacher for about 4 years.

Moving in with my grandparents in 5th grade. It was very hard but they showed me what a “real” family was like. Eating together as a family, watching movies together, helping with homework. They also lived in a nice house and encouraged me to work for what you want. I believe it is

Being the first in my family to graduate college. I always had it tough in school and not much support at home. I was able to push through and fulfill my goal.

Finding King of Kings about 4 years ago. Finally a church that I feel secure in.

I am a pretty introverted person. I went to 6 different elementary schools growing up and I feel that I can relate being the new person.

My father died at the age of 17 and I got custody of my younger sister shortly after. I had to grow up very fast.

I grew up with a parent not around much, I basically raised myself and siblings. I even lived with my grandparents for many years. I taught myself most life skills that others would have been taught.
